Working on a huge translation assignment that came in late on Tuesday and which this company suddenly realised they needed to be done ASAP. I always love it when that happens, because I reach peak efficiency, they pay more per word, and there's less of an expectation of flawless quality since they know they're making us rush

I went to look at how much Brenden's final university modules will cost – I knew it would be more than before because this Conservative government doesn't believe in funding education, but I was astonished to see that they would together cost around £4400 (close to $6000 for US people) while previously it would have been around 1/5 of that, or even zero due to student-finance programmes that have now been cancelled.

Meanwhile, the Scottish government seems to have its priorities straight, and if we move there, the cost will be around what it used to be here.

We've been wanting to move there for a long time anyway (because of better tenants' rights, more pro-immigrant attitudes, most of them wanted to stay in the EU, etc.), but it's now reached the point where it would be downright financially infeasible for us not to move there.
